Figures 1 and 2 show vertical cross-sections.

Figures 3 and 4 are enlarged views of the parts when the body, foot, andbottom are joined.

This invention consists in an arrangement of parts 'so that they maybereadily manulhctured and put totogether the result is a durable andcheap vessel, well proportioned as to durability in all its parts.

A inthe drawing is the foot, of tho-ordinary form, and having the heador shoulder a, as in figs. 3 and 4, and the flange I).

B is the bottom, and is a plain flat piece of wrought or cast-iron,zinc, or other metal, or wood, cut or shaped to the form of the top ofthe foot. y

The body .0 has ahead, 0, as shown in fig. 4, or shoulder c, as shown infig. 3, and the part below the bead or shoulder is flared out so as tofit over the foot when the parts are brought together.

By this construction the bottom, when the several parts are broughttogether, as shown in figs. 3 and 4,

is securely-clamped between the foot and the body, and the bend orshoulder c on the body and the bottorn; and the lower edge of the bodyand head or shoulder won the foot, together with the rivets or otherfastenings, form a close joint and a support for the body. i I

The foot and body should, by preference, be riveted together; but inaddition solder or cement may be used and the joint may 'be secured bygalvanizing, i. 0.. coating the parts with zinc in the warmer well knownfor galvanizing iron.

The head a, may be omitted, though we prefer to use it, as" it conducesto the strength and elegance of the hod.

- Having thus described our invention,
